Power vs Force is a book that explains the ability to distinguish truth or falsehood of any statement using
kinesiology

Dr. David R. Hawkins is a nationally renowned psychiatrist, physician,
researcher and lecturer, as his listing in Who's Who in America amply
attests. He has been a guest of MacNeil/Lehrer, Barbara Walters
and The Today Show. His previous book, Orthomolecular Psychiatry,
co-authored with Nobelist Linus Pauling, sold out completely. By the end
of 1995, word-of mouth sales of POWER vs. FORCE were increasing by
ten per cent a week.

POWER vs. FORCE is the culmination of twenty years' research. In it,
David Hawkins conclusively proves the ability of kinesiological testing to
distinguish truth or falsehood in any statement—an astonishing idea in itself,
with far reaching implications for every aspect of human life. He goes on to
demonstrate the application of his method (explained clearly for the layman) in
commerce, art, sport, etc. Then he explains its spiritual application, as a path
to enlightenment

Beyond this, Dr. Hawkins demonstrates kinesiological calibration as a tool
for assessing value and motive, revealing the hidden determinants of human
behavior—and establishing a Map of Consciousness that illuminates the
spiritual ladder we must follow as a race and as individuals.

The volume concludes with compendious notes and bibliography, and, finally, a
fascinating narrative of the author's own journey from atheism to spiritual
enlightenment.

From the Author of Power vs Force:

All human endeavor has the common goal of understanding or influencing
human experience. To this end, man has developed numerous descriptive and
analytical disciplines: Morality, Philosophy, Psychology, and so
on....Regardless what branch of inquiry one starts from - philosophy,
political theory, theology - all avenues of investigation eventually converge at
a common meeting point: the quest for an organized understanding of the nature
of pure consciousness... To explain that which is simple can be difficult
indeed. Much of this book is devoted to the process of making the simple
obvious. If we can understand even one simple thing in depth, we will have
greatly expanded our capacity for comprehending the nature of the universe and
life itself.

Truth vs. Falsehood: How to Tell the DifferenceBy Sir David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.,
Describes a simple technique that, like litmus paper, quickly differentiates
true from false and is applicable to all aspects of the human experience.http://www.davidhawkins.info/release.htm

Kinesiology
was developed in the 60’s by Chiropractors in the United States of
America. Since then it has developed into a natural therapy in its own
right, in fact Kinesiology is now the world’s fastest growing natural
therapy. Kinesiology uses muscle monitoring to assess and correct
imbalances in the body’s different structures.

In the
model of Kinesiology there is a connection between the physical structures
such as the muscles, bones, hormones, neurology, etc and the energetic
structures such as the aura, chakras, meridians, etc. Muscle monitoring
gives the practitioner the ability to assess the stress levels in the
physical and energetic structures. After the source of the stress has been
identified, muscle monitoring allows the practitioner to find what would
be the most appropriate correction technique to correct the imbalance.
This eliminates the need for guess work, thereby making the corrections
very efficient.

The
correction techniques used are typically acupressure, reflexology,
emotional stress diffusion, sound healing (tuning forks), colour healing,
flower essences, chakra balancing, etc. Other correction techniques can be
employed according to the practitioners training. This makes kinesiology a
very complimentary modality for other alternative therapies. For example
Kinesiology has successfully integrated into the practises of Naturopaths,
Homeopaths, Herbalists, and Traditional Chinese Practitioners among
others.

Kinesiology
is non-invasive, the client can keep all their issues in their head,
thereby respecting the clients need for privacy.

Dowsing has a long, illustrious and checkered history.
Because it accesses the realm of intuition, however, it is often sneered at in
these rational times. But in fact, most people are using their 'dowsing
response' constantly - they just call it something else, like 'a hunch', a 'gut
feeling', a 'sixth sense', 'first impression' and so on. A dowsing response is
simply a kind of self-registering biofeedback.

Dowsers'
brain waves

It is interesting to note that experiments done with the
brain waves of dowsers show up some surprising results. It was established that
meditators' brain waves clustered in the lower range, ordinary attention
clustered in the middle to upper range, while the practised dowser had brain
waves evenly covering pretty much the entire range! This suggests that a
dowser's perceptions (when dowsing at least) are operating over a wide band,
that such a person is habitually super-attentive, though not just at a mental
level. It's rather like a singer with a range of a few octaves rather than just
one or two.

Surveys have shown that 35% of people can naturally dowse for
water. With the right preparation and exercises, everybody can dowse. It's just
built-in to your sensory apparatus, particularly in the brow, the pituitary
gland and the adrenal glands, in the form of millions of microscopic magnetite
crystals within the cells in those areas. Certain animals have similar
equipment, and can navigate unerringly using earth energy currents, or
respond accurately to the energies of places. The mechanism used is possibly
very low intensity coherent electromagnetic fields moving through the 'energy
body', which is a subtle body all living beings have closely allied to
the level of acupuncture meridians (or part of what some call the etheric body).

The Energy Body takes in a huge amount of information
continuously on many levels, environmental and otherwise. Then the mind (which
has been called the static that overlays the energy body), depending on its
state of stillness, either allows through some of those perceptions or filters
them out.

When the mind allows these perceptions through (by being
quiet) we can more easily access our 'dowsing response'. It means that we can
access a deeper and different knowledge than the usually superficial rational
mental knowledge, valuable though this is in its place. This is what allows us
to tune in to other people's energy fields, as well as the fields of places - we
might get a sense of well-being in a positive place, and perhaps an uneasy
feeling in a place affected by geopathic stress.

In fact, your energy body, while it is
yours and has a degree of differentiation from the world around it, is yet also
continuous with the energy bodies of other people, animals, plants and the earth
itself. This potentially allows you the ability to connect to remote people and
places, depending on a number of factors, such as the clarity of your energy
body, the amount of practice you’ve done on this level, your ability to quiet
the mind, and so on.

Instruments
or not?

Dowsing instruments are used simply to amplify certain
signals that occur in our energy bodies and the resultant imperceptible signals
in our physical bodies. L-rods and pendulums are the most common of these tools,
but there are thousands of different tools that have been devised over the
centuries. Indeed you can dowse with practically anything.

Other
methods of biofeedback

These instruments can be gradually phased out as you develop
a sensitivity for the changes in your own body as a result of different energy
configurations. For example, among my responses are a rising feeling for 'yes',
a sinking feeling for 'no', slight nausea in the belly on noxious sites,
spirallic sensations in various places, and so on. I know someone who gets an
itch on his cheek when something feels right.

Sticky fingers

Another popular method of accessing the knowledge of your
energy body is the 'sticky fingers' method. Simply rub thumb and finger lightly
against each other - most people get a 'yes' as a smooth feeling in the rubbing,
while a 'no' occurs when the two fingers seem to stick a little, as if friction
were suddenly occurring.

Muscle-testing

Muscle-testing, or kinesiology, is no more than accessing the
energy body of a person and finding a dowsing response of a kind. The tester
tests a muscle by pushing down on it against the resistance of the client. When
the muscle tests weak, this suggests a 'no' - i.e., the substance or the thought
being held at the time has a weakening effect on the client. The opposite holds
for the strong response.

And there are other methods. For the moment we'll stick to
the L-rods, but please develop any or all of the methods suggested here, and
find your best entry into your own wisdom.

Dowsing
Techniques

Here are some hints for dowsing (and any other time, for that
matter!):

1. Exercises to develop your
sensitivity

Do these on a regular basis and whenever you're about to have
a dowsing session.
